Posted Jul 24, 2025
USC will likely be without star recruit Alijah Arenas next season. Arenas, who is the son of former Wizards star Gilbert Arenas, went down with a torn meniscus on Wednesday. The school confirmed that Arenas suffered a knee injury, and said that he would be out for six to eight months recovering — which puts his entire 2025-26 season in jeopardy. (Yahoo! Sports)
